I have been taking Kratom for about 5 or 6 years now, and had been up to a point where I would clear about 500g in about 5 weeks - tolerance super high to the point of ineffectiveness but taken to avoid withdrawal. Found it hard to continue to ween myself off altogether.

Last week I set off for Seoul with about 80g on me. I ended up extending my stay by 5 days, had been tapering down knowing I was running low and had run out entirely by two days ago.

So while I’m really enjoying my vacation - the insomnia and restlessness have also hampered many days. I’ve been sleeping a max of 3hrs a night, some nights none at all, last night being another one where I would try and lie still and within seconds a rush of strange restlessness and tremors would wash over me - I have to constantly tense to lose it - hard to explain. Needless to say, not a wink of sleep.

However, I’ve noticed in the last hour or so as I lie here that it seems to have dissipated. So I may be over the worst of it. Daytime withdrawals have been gone the last few days, no cravings or malaise or such. I have two days left here and I am praying that it’s over so I can finally try and sleep tonight. I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck.

So hopefully this trip has been a way of me finally getting rid of something which has been doing me no good for quite some time. It sucks that it has impeded on quite a lot of this trip, with my energy levels sapped entirely on quite a few days cos of the lack of sleep. But I only have myself to blame for letting it go this far.

These withdrawals really are no joke.
